Half dollar
A fifty cent piece and a nickel equals 55 cents. If it's a riddle stating, "I have two coins that equals 55 cents, and one is not a nickel", the answer is still a fifty cent coin and a nickel. One is not a nickel, but the other one is.
Impossible, because if you were to have a half dollar, you would have to have a nickel. Also if you were to have 2 quarters, it would equal 50 cents, thus, impossible.
The actual wording of this puzzle is "What two coins equal 55 cents if one of them is not a nickel?"The answer of course is a half dollar and a nickel. The half is the coin that's not a nickel.
55 nickels is equal to $2.75. This can be calculated by multiplying the number of nickels (55) by the value of a nickel (5 cents). Therefore, 55 nickels x $0.05 = $2.75.
a nickel (5 cents) and a half-dollar (50 cents)
A nickel is worth 5 cents so 55 nickels are worth 5 * 55 = 255 cents, or $2.55
A nickel equals 5 cents; the dime 10 cents. Two nickels equals one dime in value. So the nickel is 50% of the dime.
